I saw and heard a sure sign of spring coming even on a chilly late afternoon earlier today. - the sight and sound of a baseball hitting a bat at Firefighters Field as a group of kids were were getting ready for upcoming season.

I think the cat thing is a niche.. actually sounds like funding the hobby of a few. Shouldnt that be volunteer work? Taxpayer money just because it's been around forever? what about cat wrangling costs 3k? I think your right about the concerts and the day care, but the cat thing.. put a donation pot at the grocery store labeled "help save our strays" - id throw in a few bucks. Youd probably end up with more than 3 k in fact

the fact that people drive over to our island and abandon and just dump out their unwanted pets is sad, against the law and just plain cruel to do to a pet. We as a community must care about this issue and try to take care of the situation as much as possible. It does effect our community and the volunteers that take the time to try to help and rescue and relocate these cats to good homes are tireless and wonderful souls. The cats have to be caught and tested for disease and treated by a vet. Food has to be bought, medicines have to be bought for the ones that are sick * which is why some dump their pets so they do not have to take care of them * all these things take money and the island should help with this as much as possible. All of you that think the very small amount of 3 thousand is a waste just shows that you are so out of touch with what is going on in your own front and back yard. All the island wildlife needs help, you should stop complaining about things and get proactive in your community to help key issues that effect us all.
